Physical AI Builders Meet-up with AWS and NVIDIA
Physical AI Builders Meet-up | co-hosted by AWS and NVIDIA | From Programming to Generalisation: Can Physical AI Scale?
Is Physical AI production-ready? Humanoid startups are betting on it. Industrial automation leaders aren't so sure. AI labs are publishing impressive papers, but far from working at factory throughput. Everyone's building, but in silos. The Physical AI Builders Meetup puts them in the same room. We bring together engineers, technical founders, R&D leaders, and engineering managers to hear from the frontier, engage in honest debate, and build real relationships across Europe's emerging Physical AI ecosystem.
Agenda — London, 24 September 2026
17:30 - Doors open & networking
17:50 - Welcome – AWS & NVIDIA
18:00 - Keynote: "From Demo to Deployment: What It Actually Takes to Ship a Humanoid" by Humanoid
Humanoid's Head of Product Management takes the stage to share the journey from prototype to production: the team, the product, and the process behind deploying a fleet of humanoid robots into a live industrial environment.
The Speaker:
Adam Kelsall, Head of Product, Humanoid
18:20 - Panel: "Bringing Physical AI to Production: How the Ecosystem Gets It Done"
No single company ships Physical AI alone. This panel assembles different parts of the ecosystem: the startup building at the frontier, the industrial end-user who owns the production line, the investor backing the bets. They will debate what "production-ready" means.
The Panelists:
Adam Kelsall, Head of Product, Humanoid
Iain Haughton, Senior Staff Machine Learning Researcher, Ocado Technology
Thomas Crow, VC at Fabric Ventures
Hemesh Prag, Head of Robotics UKI, NVIDIA
Moderator: Catarina Pinto, EMEA Physical AI lead, GenAIIC, AWS
